My mom grew up in Punxsutawney and left in her early twenties and hadn't been back for 40 years until someone died She said it was worse in a lot of ways, performatively rural, when before it was just actually the sticks. Definitely willful ignorance trump country now

BrigadierSensible posted:Forgive me if this is a rude question. But what do you mean by the bolded part? No it's not stupid or rude and I could have been more clear When she was growing up in the 50s it was rural in the sense that her family was the only one on her street that had indoor plumbing. People had outhouses. She did not see a non-white person until high school. People ate possum and bear and poo poo because they just hunted that stuff and there wasn't a supply of much else, certainly no seafood or anything. It was a one horse town. It looked NOTHING like the city shown in Groundhog's Day. Now it looks more like that, they have national chain restaurants and supermarkets and it's just like everywhere else in a red county, but there is still crushing poverty and a massive opioid crisis. But the people she interacted with ACTED more "country" than they did when she was in high school with them. People used to have guns because that's just what you did, you hunted. Now they have guns because WHERE YOU FROM BOY. They never had confederate flags because they're in the loving north, but now they're everywhere because the redneck lifestyle has taken hard hold. People had much stronger accents and played them up at her. People in rural places have been intentionally pitted against urban folks so those in power have a scapegoat for why their lives suck and a lot of them buy into it HARD. It's not an "act" exactly, it's a choice to concentrate and rarify a certain type of ignorance and revel in it.

BrigadierSensible posted:Thank you for the explanation. Yeah and everything that comes with that. Performative ignorance, bigotry, etc NOT saying all rural folks are ignorant bigots, far from it. But these types idolize a false idea of what it means to be rural and that involves guns, rolling coal, thumping bibles, and saying the n word. Essentially the people that "chud" has been used to describe recently.

Many years ago when I was driving from NH to AZ, I stopped at any tourist trappy thing that wasn't expensive, especially in the boring west-of-the-Mississippi states This included the Petroleum Museum in Midland Texas (home of presidents!)    It was actually really cool despite being a barely-disguised advertisement for the fossil fuel companies that funded it

Big Beef City posted:Well no, I mean like every grocery store used to have them not just a 'pick your lobster and then we'll cook it for you' type place. Yeah that used to be a lot more common, but I think it probably turned out to be an unprofitable fad. I can't remember the last time I saw that at a regular grocery store either

We didn't do crawfish growing up but "clambakes" which are very similar: steamer clams maybe mussels or quahogs potato corn kielbasa or linguica or even just good hotdogs onion a lobster if you were being really fancy it's ALL for eating and it was the goddamn best
